The aim of this study was to investigate associations between maternal stress, parenting behavior, and sibling adjustment in relation to child trauma symptoms in families with and without a history of intimate partner violence (IPV). Maternal report was used to measure maternal stress and child trauma symptoms, whereas parenting behavior was assessed through an observational measure. Participants consisted of mothers with 2 school-age siblings recruited from the community. Results indicated that violent families reported higher levels of maternal stress and sibling trauma symptoms than nonviolent families, although no differences were found in parenting behavior. Sibling trauma symptoms and negative maternal behavior toward a sibling were strong predictors of trauma symptoms in younger siblings exposed to IPV but only modest predictors for older siblings. Moderator analyses showed that in IPV-affected families, the trauma symptoms of older siblings were related to the trauma symptoms of younger siblings when maternal stress was high.
本研究的目的是调查有或没有亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）史的家庭中，母亲压力、养育行为和同胞适应与儿童创伤症状之间的关联。采用母亲报告来测量母亲压力和儿童创伤症状，而养育行为则通过观察性测量进行评估。参与者包括从社区招募的有两个学龄同胞的母亲。结果表明，暴力家庭报告的母亲压力和同胞创伤症状水平高于非暴力家庭，尽管在养育行为方面未发现差异。同胞创伤症状和母亲对同胞的负面行为是遭受IPV的年幼儿童创伤症状的强预测因素，但对年长儿童而言只是适度的预测因素。调节分析表明，在受IPV影响的家庭中，当母亲压力较高时，年长同胞的创伤症状与年幼儿童的创伤症状相关。
